An Introduction to Personal Essay Writing
FRIDAY, MAYĀ 9thĀ 12:00 to 1 p.m. EST
This workshop is for writers who are interested in learning more about the personal essay, and those seeking to reconnect with their craft. This workshop will cover specific essay essentials, the various forms, and how an idea can become a longer piece. We'll explore what an essay is, find what we're trying to say, and learn how we can say it. We'll find inspiration together, and students will leave with the confidence to write their stories.
Here's what you'll get from this interactive workshop...
- Become familiar with the elements of the personal essay
- Learn different essay forms and structures
- Identify potential ideas and topics for a piece
- Excavate moments, scenes, desires, and stakes that show us our essay's beating heart
